I thought I knew...

New Zealand - land of Hobbits, hokey-pokey ice cream, kiwi and sheep.

Also the land lacking insulation and central heating.

It has been SO cold and it's not even fully winter yet! Believe me, for a person who has lived in tropical Queensland for over ten years, it's a shock to the system. There was a time back home where I couldn't take enough layers off (and felt like removing my skin to get cooler), whereas here, I could be wearing four shirts and still feel like my marrow has frozen.

At any rate, the coldest is still to come. I'm going to invest in more thermals and do what any warm-blooded person would do - HEAD FURTHER SOUTH..

Queenstown here we come!
